Romkugler (Chocolate Rum Truffles)
These rich, chocolatey truffles are perfect for any occasion. With a slight rum flavor, they are sweetened by the added cake and jam. Such a simple recipe, with an amazing result!

- 100 grams dark chocolate, melted
- 15 grams unsweetened cocoa powder

- Unsweeted coconut flakes for rolling
Instructions
- Crumble the pound cake/leftover cake into a medium bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add the melted chocolate, cocoa powder, jam, and rum to the cake crumbs.
- Mix until a paste or sticky dough forms, either using a rubber spatula or the paddle attachment on the stand mixer.
- Shape the dough into balls with your hands.
- Roll the balls in shredded coconut - you can also use sprinkles, cocoa powder, or anything else you'd like!
- Repeat with all of the dough.
- Keep these at room temperature if you prefer them softer, or in the fridge for a harder texture. Enjoy!
